The game has just been nominated for two Gayming Magazine Awards due to its (optional) gay romance.
“TRIGGER WARNING,” the post begins. “Among all the various awards and nominations we’ve received, we’ve also just been nominated for the @gaymingmag GAYMING AWARDS! I’m really proud of that, because I absolutely stand by the fact that the way we did it is exactly how something like this should be done. Non-coercively, naturally, and educationally (because we show how things really were in the Middle Ages without idealizing them)–and without shoving it down anyone’s throat or trying to re-educate them like so many titles that are rightfully called ‘woke’ these days. We made the gay community happy and gave them the CHOICE to be themselves, just like we did for others in other choices and quests, and anyone who isn’t interested probably didn’t even notice. Except, of course, for [a] very small and very loud minority.”
I mean, we’re all rational here, I assume, so that would be a pretty big stretch to say it was shoved down your throat. If you wouldn’t feel threatened by a dude at the store saying you looked cute, then I don’t think BG3 is any worse. The women throw themselves at you equally as quickly as the men, if not more so. Lazel seems like she hates you, and then by like Day 2 is like “well, we may as well smash, you do well with a sword and that’s what counts”.

What games in the same vein as KCD2 have shoved hat relationships down players throats?? What would they even be referencing as the “woke” games?
Imagine finding a way to piss off everyone simply by opening your stupid mouth…lol
Something something dragon age something something concord.
Sprinkle in some pointless complaints about The Last Jedi and you have a full chud comment.
Seriously, Concord? Have some of these people been traumatized by its whole two weeks of existence?
But… the women weren’t super models :(((
Concord didn’t last long enough for anyone to notice anything lol
With the amount anti-woke folks talk about it you would think otherwise.
Yeah, we’re not starting off on a solid foundation, for sure
Baldur’s Gate 3? But you have to try pretty hard to have gay sex… I’ve heard.
Eh not really, Gale is pretty quick to offer it up
Lol, true enough.
